Summary
[edit]DescriptionΛευκός Πύργος, White Tower of Thessaloniki, Greece.jpg |
Ελληνικά: Λευκός Πύργος, Θεσσαλονίκη, Ελλάδα. Ο Λευκός Πύργος της Θεσσαλονίκης είναι οχυρωματικό έργο οθωμανικής κατασκευής του 15ου αιώνα (χτίστηκε πιθανόν μεταξύ 1450-70). Σήμερα θεωρείται χαρακτηριστικό μνημείο της Θεσσαλονίκης και είναι ό,τι έχει σωθεί από την κατεδαφισμένη οθωμανική οχύρωση της πόλης. Η σημερινή μορφή του πύργου αντικατέστησε βυζαντινή οχύρωση του 12ου αιώνα, για να χρησιμοποιηθεί στη συνέχεια ως κατάλυμα φρουράς Γενιτσάρων και ως φυλακή θανατοποινιτών. Σήμερα λειτουργεί ως μουσείο και είναι ένα από τα πιο γνωστά κτίσματα-σύμβολα πόλεων στην Ελλάδα. Έχει 6 ορόφους, 34 μέτρα ύψος και 70 μέτρα περίμετρο.
English: White Tower of Thessaloniki, Greece. View from one of its windows. a monument and museum on the waterfront of the city of Thessaloniki, capital of the region of Macedonia in northern Greece. The present tower replaced an old Byzantine fortification, known to have been mentioned around the 12th century, that the Ottoman Empire reconstructed to fortify the city's harbour sometime after Sultan Murad II captured Thessaloniki in 1430. The tower became a notorious prison and scene of mass executions during the period of Ottoman rule. The White Tower was substantially remodeled and its exterior was whitewashed after Greece gained control of the city in 1912. It has been adopted as the symbol of the city. «Λευκός Πύργος»
